Abstract: A speaker recognition system tests data during enrolment by preparing a template for a word from repeated utterances, comparing further repeated utterances with the template and updating the template with accepted utterances, and finally accepting or rejecting the updated template on the basis of how many of the further utterances are accepted and how many rejected. This protects the quality of the template formed from the enrolment utterances. In addition to storing final versions of the templates for each of a plurality of words, data is stored relating to the co-variance of utterances of different words. 
     During analysis of the spoken inputs, the pitch of voiced sections is determined and this is used both to enable determination of the start and end points of the spoken utterance and also to determine the timing of analysis frame periods.   
     During speaker recognition, a plurality of test utterances are obtained from the unknown speaker, and these are analysed separately and the analysis results combined using the co-variance data to make a recognition decision. 
     The system is particularly useful for speaker verification to verify a previous claimed identity. The system has particular application to the recognition of individuals over the telephone.

Abstract: A glass sheet such as an automobile window glass sheet is bent to shape and tempered at one stage by a sheet glass bending and tempering apparatus. The sheet glass bending and tempering apparatus has solid contact members for pressing a glass sheet, which has been heated nearly to its softening point, to a desired shape and depriving the glass sheet of heat to cool the glass sheet quickly, the solid contact means having a contact surface for contacting the glass sheet and depriving the glass heat of heat therethrough. The contact surface has a plurality of grooves defined therein, and a plurality of air outlet ports defined in each of the grooves, for applying cooling air to the glass sheet, and a plurality of air inlet ports defined in each of the grooves, for drawing the air applied to the glass sheet. When the opposite surfaces of the glass sheet are pressed by the solid contact members, the pressure is temporarily reduced and then increased again to cool the glass sheet. The peripheral edge of the glass sheet, which requires a high degree of shaping accuracy, is cooled quickly by the solid contact members, and the central region of the glass sheet, which requires high optical properties, is cooled quickly by air jets.

Abstract: A control for a clothes dryer with an induction drive motor and an electric resistance heater element. A single sense winding is threaded through sensors monitoring drive motor current and heater current, generating an output voltage each time the alternating motor or heater current passes through a zero-crossing. The control monitors the ON/OFF condition of the heater and samples the lagging phase angle of the motor current, to provide an improved means of detecting when the clothes load is dry by measuring variation in motor torque due to minute differences in the way that the clothes load is tumbling from one drum revolution to the next revolution, ignoring cyclical, repetitive variation due to uneven drum rotational friction. The control provides a clothes cooldown period with controlled moisture regain as per the user dryness selection. In addition, numerous diagnostic conditions are monitored at the start of each cycle, or, throughout each cycle, including: 208 or 240 VAC service voltage identification; motor start detection; drum acceleration detection; empty drum detection; motor or heater open/short circuit detection; open door detection; broken belt detection; and restricted air flow detection.

Abstract: An apparatus for correcting a faulty microcode contained in a control store of a microprogrammed processor. The apparatus comprises two functional parts; namely, the detection circuit for detecting operational codes that correspond to faulty microinstructions in the main control store ROM of the system and a programmable array which is used as the storage area for substitute microinstructions. The detection circuit is a circuit which operates as a logic NOR circuit and is utilized to detect valid operational codes of macroinstructions that correspond to microcode sequences that contain errors or faults. The programmable array consists of two loadable RAM's which contain error free microcode to replace the faulty microcode. The detection and correction occurs in parallel with the instruction decoding so that it does not have any impact on system cycle time.

Abstract: A device for monitoring the electrolyte level in an accumulator battery combines in one protective housing (3), which can be plugged into a diagnosis opening by means of a sleeve-like projection on the base, a sensor electrode (not visible), which is fixedly surrounded by the sleeve and is immersed in the electrolyte, and an electronic circuit, which makes contact with the electrode and whose power supply is provided just by the cell voltage of the relevant cell, via connecting lines (9, 10) to the cell terminals, a voltage multiplier in the form of an integrated electronic module permitting a reliable measurement even in the case of cells which are largely discharged, by raising the input voltage to approximately 3 volts. As soon as the electrode is no longer immersed, when the electrolyte level falls below a permitted minimum, a switching transistor is switched on by the circuit which is now open with respect to the electrode and releases the current flow through a light-emitting diode (4) which, by its illumination, indicates that refilling is necessary. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A communications network (116) includes satellites (700), which serve as switching nodes and move in orbits about the earth. The network (116) additionally includes stationary switching offices (800). Mobile communication units (600) communicate with the network through the satellites using TDMA data packets (300) and network control messages (500). The switching offices couple to PSTNs (108). Each mobile unit (600) is managed by a nearby switching office (800) that assigns a logical channel identification (LCID) value (400) to the unit (600). The unit (600) and network (116) use the LCID value to identify the unit in network communications so that network resources are conserved. The network (116) insures that LCID values (400) assigned to opposing parties in a call are included in all TDMA data packets (300) transported to the opposing parties. Satellites (700) and switching offices (800) use these LCID values (400) as logical channel assignments which do not change throughout the duration of the call, in spite of movement by satellites (700).

Abstract: After a plurality of optical fibers are fused to make a fiber optic coupler, the ends thereof are glued to a substrate to provide the outwardly extending fibers with adequate pull strength. The glue can flow from the point of application toward the fused region where it can adversely affect the the device. To prevent the glue from flowing too far toward the fused region and yet permit sufficient flow to strengthen the fibers, a beam of UV light is directed onto the fibers at that predetermined point where glue flow should stop. When the glue is cured by the beam, it stops flowing. Thereafter, the remainder of the glue is cured.
